  The first thing to do immediately after your pet goes missing, is to try not to panic. Try to keep calm and focus on taking action. 1- Start by placing your pet's food and water bowls outside on your deck, porch, open garage or front steps. (Make sure the food and water are fresh and the food has a strong scent.) Along with a blanket or piece of clothing with YOUR scent on it. A box with a blanket and some of their toys, is also a good idea to place outside. Especially in winter. Cats like the safety of a "hiding place." 2- Start searching immediately. Bring a pen and a small notepad with you to hand out your contact information to neighbors. Put everyday tasks on hold. You probably won't be able to concentrate on them, anyway. Do whatever it takes to make time to search for your pet. 3- Make copies of the clearest photo you have of your pet. Print photos from your phone at home, or take them to a store that can print them for you, such as Staples. Buy bright color...

                                     How To Keep Your Pets Warm In The Winter Months   It's the very start of Autumn, and it will soon be getting cooler...hopefully. Winter weather is not too far off then. Here in Pennsylvania, we had a lot of snow last winter and it's predicted that we are going to get a lot this winter, as well. Many people love the snow, especially children. But, what about our animal friends. Do they? They have no choice really. Where they live, how we feed them, where they sleep in our homes and most importantly, whether they spend a lot of time outside or not. Snow, depends on where you and your pets live.                                       1-- Let's start with keeping you pets warm . Dog and cats do get chilly, even though they have fur.

                     How Being A Sensitive Has Helped Me Understand Animals.                                                             PART 1 Me (at age 2)  with Honey  When I was a child I had a cocker spaniel named Honey. Honey was my only sibling for a year and a half, until my sister was born.   I loved to play with Honey and dress her in my mom's silk scarves. She was a sweet, patient and loving dog. She was also great with children and people in general.   Honey was my first experience with having a pet, and she was a treasure. I loved her very much.   Growing up,  I was usually told, "You're too sensitive!", as if it were a problem or something to be corrected and dismissed.  But, being told to change something that was a...
